It questions the existing picture of broad and rising medical prosperity across the nineteenth century to consider the men who did not keep up with professionalising trends. It unpicks the life stories of men who could not make ends meet or who could not sustain a professional persona of disinterested expertise, either because they could not overcome public accusations of misconduct or because they struggled privately with stress. In doing so it uncovers the trials of the medical marketplace and the pressures of medical masculinity. All professionalising groups risked falling short of rising expectations, but for doctors these expectations were inflected in some occupationally specific ways. 650 12 $a Malpractice $x history. 650 22 $a History, 18th Century. 650 22 $a History, 19th Century. 650 22 $a Physicians $x history. 651 2 $a Wales. 651 2 $a England. 650 0 $a Physicians. 650 0 $a Medicine $z England $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Medicine $z Wales $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Medicine $z England $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Medicine $z Wales $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014893 650 7 $a Physicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062841 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Wales. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207649 650 7 $a Health and Wellbeing. $2 ukslc 648 7 $a 1700-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781526116109 830 0 $a Social histories of medicine. 856 4 $u https://www.tcd.ie/library/using-library/eLD/#PDA $y Library Purchase Underway 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D492C70462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
